War of 1812 / Carl Benn. "The war of 1812-15 raged across the American frontier, Britain's Canadian colonies, the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the world's oceans. The conflict saw British, American, and Indigenous forces clash, and in the process, shape the future of North America. Respected historian Dr Carl Benn assesses the reasons why ythe United States took up arms, explores the fighting that followed, and considers the meaning of the war's outcomes. This new and thoroughly revised edition draws on scholarly advances that have occured since original publication in 2002, many of which have changed our perception of the conflict. Fully illustrated in colour with specially commissioned maps and over 50 new images, this book provides an accessible and concise overview of the War of 1812." -- 2024. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 973.52

Tecumseh & Brock : the War of 1812 /James Laxer. "At the turn of the nineteenth century, the British Empire is at the height of its ascendancy; Napoleonic France is struggling to maintain its position as a world power; and the incumbent American empire is quickly expanding its territory, while the Native peoples struggle to establish their own confederacy, their own independent nation. James Laxer offers a fresh and compelling view of this decisive war ? which historians have long treated as a second American revolution ? by bringing to life the Native struggle for nationhood and sovereignty; the battle between the British Empire and the United States over Upper and Lower Canada; and finally, at the heart of it, the unlikely friendship and political alliance of two towering figures of history: Tecumseh, the Shawnee chieftain and charismatic leader of the Native confederacy, and Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, protector and defender of the British Empire."--Dust jacket. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.48"1812/1815"(42:73)

Inside the US Navy of 1812-1815 / William S. Dudley. "When the War of 1812 broke out, the newly formed and cash-strapped United States faced Great Britain, the world's foremost sea power, with a navy that had largely fallen into disrepair and neglect. In this riveting book, William S. Dudley presents the most complete history of the inner workings of the US Navy Department during the conflict, which lasted until 1815. What did it take, he asks, for the US Navy to build, fit-out, man, provision, and send fighting ships to sea for extended periods of time during the War of 1812? When the British blockade of 1813?14 severely constrained American sea trade, reducing the government's income and closing down access to American seaports, the navy was forced to innovate: to make improvements through reforms, to redeploy personnel, and to strengthen its industrial capacity. Highlighting matters of supply, construction, recruitment, discipline, medical care, shipbuilding, and innovation, Dudley helps readers understand the navy's successes and failures in the war and beyond. He also presents the logistics of the war in relation to fleet actions on the lakes and selected ship actions on the oceans, stresses the importance of administration in warfighting, and shows how reforms and innovations in those areas led to a stronger, more efficient navy."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 973.5/25
